Star Care Hospice

Can my pain and symptoms be controlled at home? Yes. Pain and other symptoms can usually be controlled in the patient’s home. If a symptom (i.e. pain, nausea or vomiting, or difficulty breathing) becomes a problem, the hospice nurse can be reached 24-hours a day, 7 days a week. There have been great advances in pain and symptom control in the past few years. Most symptoms can be controlled without the use of injections or IV medication. Star Care Hospice's nurses assess each patients’ pain and symptom control at each visit. Hospice medical directors are always available to adjust medications.

Can I live alone and still receive Hospice services? Yes.
